A challenge of getting a good CNC cut is in selecting the best bit, best cutting speed (feed rate) and router/spindle RPM (speed of rotation). Bits, feeds, and ...

What should my CNC feed rate be?
Your CNC spins the bit at 18,000 RPM, and the bit has 2 flutes (cutting edges). To determine the feed rate: Feed Rate = 18,000 x 2 x 0.4. Therefore, your Feed Rate should be 14,400 mm per minute.
What speed should CNC spindles be for wood?
A good rule of thumb for RPM (when using the HF500) is to keep the setting at 15,000 rpm or higher for cutting woods. You will have more cutter speed which will make the tool cut easier and should provide a better finish.
How do you calculate feed and RPM?

Milling Formulas

1
Speed (RPM) = (SFM x 3.82) / D.
2
Feed (IPM) = RPM x FPT x Z.
3
SFM (Surface Feet per Minute) = (RPM x D) / 3.82.
4
IPT (Inches per Tooth) = (IPM / RPM) / Z.
5
MRR (Cubic Inches per Minute) = IPM * WOC * DOC.
6
AFPT (@ less than 1/2 dia. WOC) = IPM x sqroot of (D / WOC)
7
HP (Horsepower Consumption) = MRR x mf.
What is the feed and speed of CNC cutting?
Feed rate refers to how fast the machine moves laterally through your material, measured in inches per minute (IPM). Speeds are referring to the spindle/router rotations per minute (RPM). Increasing the spindle speed (RPM) doesn't automatically mean that the feed rate should go up or down.
